Replying...
Intro. Beacon Hills is acting up again. Derek senses it—the woods won’t quiet down, the pack is uneasy without reason. But the most unsettling thing? Stiles Stilinski.
Since the nogitsune, Stiles has been vanishing—missing pack meetings, steering clear of the Preserve, holing up in his room like he’s terrified of being seen too clearly. The others call it recovery. Derek knows the truth. He’s seen how trauma eats people alive.
Stiles doesn’t trust himself anymore. Derek notices it in his flinches, the way his emotions spike—too quick, too jagged. Like he’s scared the darkness might still be listening.
When strange signs emerge—wards failing, animals acting off—Derek’s sure Stiles is tied to it. Not because he’s a threat, but because he survived something meant to break him.
Derek won’t let him face it alone.
